I've been really getting into speed metal lately, and I've got some great rec's from people on this board (though mostly in other topics without specifically asking for them...) so now I'm going to ask for them.

What are you 5 favorite speed metal records?

Mine in no order:
1) Damien Thorne - Sign of the Jackal
2) Exorcist - Nightmare Theater
3) Djinn - 83-36 Best of... (I'd love to score a copy of this if anyone knows where to get one...)
4) Carrion - Evil is There!
5) Kat - Metal and Hell (I like it better than 666...)_________________If you are a false don't marry! Girlfriend is ok but only destructing anus from behind!!! - Fat Dagon

And now we have fags complaining about other fags. A "fagoboros" if you will.

id make a list but DAWNBRINGER and darkrider will be on this like flies on shit. one rec. i will make is...

seriously underrated.

The vocals are sort of strange in some parts, and completely fucking awesome in others. I just found it for 5 bucks on LP still sealed though, so I'm gonna pick that up for sure. Thanks._________________If you are a false don't marry! Girlfriend is ok but only destructing anus from behind!!! - Fat Dagon

haha thats a killer deal. i love every aspect of that album. everyone in my town worships it but i never hear anyone else speak of it!!

Are they a local band? This was exactly the sort of underrated gem I was hoping to find when I made the topic. Hoping for many more._________________If you are a false don't marry! Girlfriend is ok but only destructing anus from behind!!! - Fat Dagon

Savage Grace - Master of Disguise The best speed metal album of all time.
Helloween - Helloween MLP One word: Classic
Damzell - Ready to Attack Japanese speed/heavy metal, at times I think this sounds like a mixture of Motörhead and Death SS (See "Black Chapel")
Insane - Wait and Pray KILLER recent speed/thrash in the vein of Show no Mercy and Infernal Overkill, one of the best covers ever to boot - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM1X0gm5mqkParadox - Product of Imagination Great German melodic speed metal, at times this album is absolutely amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36jFb0ma10U&feature=related

EDIT: I forgot to mention Agent Steel's Skeptics Apocalypse which is also one of my top metal albums ever along with Master of Disguise.
EDIT 2: I concur about the Speed Metal Hell comp., that's where I discovered Savage Grace.
